Æ30 - Severus Alexander ΕΠΙ ϹΤΡΑ ΑΥΡ ΕΡΑϹΕΙΝΟΥ, ΕΝΜΟΝΙΔΕΙΑ ΜΑΓΝΗΤΩΝ СΙΠΥΛΟΥ

Magnesia ad Sipylum, perched beneath Mount Sipylus in Lydia, was one of dozens of Asian cities that leveraged the imperial cult under Severus Alexander to assert civic prestige through local bronze coinage. The magistrate name preserved in the obverse legend — Aurelius Eraseinos — is a rare survival of a strategos whose tenure can be partially anchored within Alexander's reign by this very issue. The Enmonidia festival referenced in the reverse legend was a local celebration of civic harmony, attested almost exclusively through the coinage itself rather than through literary sources.
